“I have been in facility management in one form or another for about 30 years. Right out of the service – I was in the Navy – I started as an office manager and worked my way up the ladder.

I started working here in mid-September. I was always interested in the YMCA; I like what we stand for and we do. I was actually a member of the Five Points Branch of the Y for years. My whole family went to the Y. My wife took exercise classes, my son took karate and I took all my kids to swim at the Y.

At the Fanwood-Scotch Plains Y, I’m looking forward to forming good relationships and meeting new people. I like that I’m working for a health and wellness organization and a place that helps and is good for the community.”
